At http://line6.com/podhd/multi-effects/specs.html , the specs says HD300 and HD400 has 30 HD amp models. 

 

And HD500 has 25.

 

 

But on the information page of the HD series, it says this:

 

 

POD HD multi-effects pedals include HD amps based on* the amps listed below.

  • Ampeg® B-15NF Portaflex®
  • Bogner® Uberschall
  • Divided by 13 JRT 9/15
  • Dr. Z® Route 66
  • ENGL® Fireball 100
  • Fender® Bassman® ("Normal" channel)
  • Fender® Bassman® ("Bright" channel)
  • Fender® Blackface Deluxe Reverb® ("Normal" channel)
  • Fender® Blackface Deluxe Reverb® ("Vibrato" channel)
  • Fender® Twin Reverb® (“Normal†channel with “Bright†switch off)
  • Fender® Twin Reverb® ("Vibrato" channel with “Bright†switch on)
  • Gibson® EH-185
  • Hiwatt® Custom 100 (DR103)
  • Line 6 Doom**
  • Line 6 Epic**
  • Marshall® JCM-800 (2204)
  • Marshall® JTM-45 MkII ("Bright" channel)
  • Marshall® JTM-45 MkII ("Normal" channel)
  • Marshall® “Plexi†1959 Super Lead ("Normal" channel)
  • Marshall® “Plexi†1959 Super Lead ("Bright" channel)
  • Mesa/Boogie® Dual Rectifier®
  • Park 75 ("Bright" channel)
  • Park 75 ("Normal" channel)
  • Soldano® SLO100**
  • Supro® S6616
  • Vox® AC-15
  • Vox® AC-30 (Top Boost)

**Coming soon to POD HD500.

 

 

According to my counting, this is 27 amps, not 30. 

and if you take away the 3 with ** (coming soon to HD500) it is 24? 

 

Anyone want to clear this up for me?

The last update to HD500 (2.1) included Lines 6 Doom, Epic and 3 channels of the Soldano SLO100:

 

POD HD500 Flash Memory v2.1 RELEASE NOTES

POD HD500 Flash Memory v2.1 is a FREE firmware update that is highly recommended for all POD HD500 users.

What’s New? POD HD500 2.1 includes five new HD guitar amp models and integration support for L3t, L3m, and L3s speakers over L6 LINK.
“Solo 100 Cleanâ€, “Solo 100 Crunchâ€, and “Solo 100 Overdrive†HD Guitar Amp Models Three new HD guitar amp models based on* the Clean/Crunch and Overdrive channels of the classic, hand-built Soldano® SLO100 Super Lead Overdrive 100-watt head.
“Line 6 Doom†and “Line 6 Epic†HD Guitar Amp Models Two new, Line 6 original HD guitar amp models with lots of gain on tap. Line 6 Doom delivers maximum sludge by combining a Marshall® JCM800 preamp and Hiwatt® Custom 100 power amp with some additional tweaks. Line 6 Epic provides sustain for days at virtually any playing dynamic, giving up gobs of distortion with ease. Play with the Master Volume parameter to experience the true versatility of these amps.
StageSource Speaker Support The update also enables POD HD Pro and POD HD500 to integrate with StageSource loudspeakers in revolutionary new ways. You can instantly recall StageSource Smart Speaker modes via POD HD presets, making StageSource and POD HD Pro or HD500 the ultimate integrated FRFR (Full Range Flat Response) guitar system. You can switch from a full-range acoustic sound for the verse to a dialed-in 2 x 12†guitar cabinet for the chorus—with just the press of a footswitch. You can also change to Keyboard mode for dramatic guitar synth soundscapes. Add multiple StageSource speakers via L6 LINK for stereo effects configuration, wet/dry/wet setups, and more.
 

They all have the same amps now

OK, so the Soldano should maybe be counted as 3, not one. (Even if Line6 has lined it up as one, and not 3. Strange, since they have done that with the others, for instance the Fender ones)

 

Still, if I count the Soldano as 3, it is 29 for the HD300/400. Not 30?

perhaps they are counting the acoustic preamp, that doesn't appear as an amp model, although it's primarily used as one...

and of course they count the SLO channels... they just didn't break it out like they did the others.. but they count the other channels from other amps as models...

and in all honesty the channels are modeled separately...

Ok, so it is probably just that the HD specification page is not updated since the 2.1 update then? 

 

Thanks for clarifying  :)
